The Parents Association kindly decorated the corridor leading up to the hall. It is beautiful. They also put up our Christmas trees inside and outside. Ms. Rogan painted the windows at the front door also with a Santa and snowmen. Ms. Thomas has been working hard to get the garden looking very festive. I think you will agree everything looks so nice. A big thank you to everyone for their help.

We are now ready for Christmas!

We got a bus to Kildare street and walked the rest . Ms Monahan’s went to the National History Museum first and we went to the Dail. We saw the Minister of Finance talking in the Dail. His name is Pascal O Donoghue. We all wanted him to do the dab but he said he was not allowed to. After we went to the National History Museum. We saw animals there.

After a few days of loud building noise and a building in progress sign blocking her fairy door, Poppy’s door was replaced with a Christmas door!! We could not believe it when the following day we received a class elf straight from Santa! And he brought a stack of wrapped books from the North Pole Library in the shape of a Christmas tree. Every day we open a new Christmas book and have lovely Christmas story time. It has been a great countdown to Christmas. Now our elf called Elfie has been really kind and has brought letters for some of the class but he also has been a little mischief maker. He toilet papered the Christmas tree, he dressed in a Spiderman mask and a Minecraft Character! He even was riding on a dinosaur one morning. We are so excited to see what he has got up to each morning when we arrive into school! We also have been practising very hard for our concert and have made some lovely art for the hall with Christmas robins as the theme.

Along with the fun we also have been busy learning. We have become number whizzes using Numicon. We did some guided drawing of cats using pastels and we are about to bring home our own class reader. We are so proud of our dream catchers. They took a while to make but we all agree that they look fantastic on our window display! Our Aistear theme for this month has been People that Help Us. We had a Vets as our role play area and pretended we are bakers making little gingerbread men to display outside the door We have had great fun planning our next role play area which is a Christmas cafe.
